Police say that the man had got into a dispute with a number of people at a boxing event at York Hall. Reports on social media suggest that a brawl of more than 30 people took place after the event and the victim was stabbed between seven and eight times.

‘The guy in charge shouted for security after the boxing fight had finished, everyone was really panicked and we were just like, “let’s get the hell out of here because it’s about to kick off”,’ Amy Christophers told the Standard.
